I agree they could have left some of the video on the cutting room floor.

The accountant in me wants to count all the takes and the running that ended up on the cutting room floor.

You know that man didn't run for free!

"I would pay to see this as a feature."
Me too.

You would pay for "Motorbike Chase: The Movie"?

How many gears did that motocycle have?
I am no expert but from my hearing, he was upshifting about every five seconds
Till around half time of this chase scene, I counted about 35 up-shifts and maybe 3 down-shifts and then I lost interest.


As in most motorcycle movies, the boring "downshift" scenes always wind up on "the cutting room floor"...

It's always fun to watch these types of videos, but I'd be interested in seeing the stats for how many students that got the questions right, but wound up on the cutting room floor.

Good video but they spent about half of it overstating that stealing jokes was wrong. I got the point about 30 seconds in. Now that EVERYONE ON THE PLANET is a video editor we should all review the concepts of "filler" and "cutting-room floor".

story has it, this conversation went on for four and a half hours, but 3 and a half is on the cutting room floor.

Yeah? Well mine popped up with an image of Jesus!

Anyone who believes that this person is talking on a cellphone in 1928 or is a time-traveler or anything like that is beyond help. There is some logical explanation for why they are walking and talking like that, even if the answer is there is no clear reason why they are behaving that way. Or else it's a digital hoax.
I can only hope that most people are playing along with the usual light-hearted whimsical time filler that news organizations throw in to the mix, rather than thinking that this is a actually an indication of anything supernatural. It's only a crazy loon talking to their hand in an old movie and somehow didn't end up on the cutting room floor.
BTW, my toast popped up this morning with an image of the Virgin Mary.

Dune was an amazing book. Like LOTR, the story is huge. Lynch got so caught up in the movie, his version ended up something like 4.5 hours. Something that couldn't be marketed. Most of it ended up on the cutting room floor as they hacked it apart to bring it down to a regular movie sized chunk. The result was that anyone who haddn't read the book, had problems following it.

They tried for years to get TV networks to run it but no network would consider it. Finely it was agreed that someone would go back and re-edit a new version of the film for TV. That's the only way they managed to get it on the networks.

Most people don't realize that there are two versions to this film. Both very different from each other. As it ended up, there was enough unused film footage to create a whole different version of the film. Alot of the scenes are the same, but shot from different camera angles.

I've seen both. I have the original VideoTape movie version (It even came with a Dune dictionary so you could follow along with the lingo), but I have never managed to tape the TV edit version to my VCR. (it hasn't been released in any other format - That I've ever seen.)

On that note, years after that. There was a 6-hour mini-series remake of Dune staring William Hurt - I have that on DVD also.

The title of this link says it all.

The truth ended up on the cutting room floor.

I am sick to death of this slurring of Obama.

My racist father said to me the other day, "Obama's advisors are the weathermen, Muslims and blacks."

My racist father also has an engineering degree from MIT and is not a religious zealot.

He is a racist. He also hates Democrats. So a black Democrat? He's tripping.

I am so ashamed of a too-large-part of our country right now. We are killing ourselves with this egregiously racist and partisan talk. We are a country divided.

BTW, here's what they'd left on the cutting room floor: http://www.videosift.com/video/John-McCain-Dazed-and-Confused-BONUS-FOOTAGE

Moe Green was shot in the eye at the end of The Godfather during the baptism where Michael Corleone was renouncing Satan, not part 2. In part 2 there was only one reference to Moe Green and that was by Hyman Roth in a Cuba hotel room when Michael asked him who killed Pantangelli (who, incidentally, survived that attempt on his life by the Rizotto brothers who were working with Hyman Roth).

Interestingly enough, though, for the flashbacks in part 2 with a young Vito Corleone (played by Robert DeNiro) there were scenes shot with a young Hyman Roth and Moe Green, but they were left on the cutting room floor.

Yea I upvoted for the ending only. The graphics wernt bad (the car sliding horizontally as the driver shoots out the passenger window should have hit the cutting room floor. I let it pass in final fantasy advent children because its a fantasy game). Also I rolled my eyes on the planes in the claustrophobic tunnel. Should these have been real elite hotshot pilots that would have braved a tunnel, they certainly would not have not lost track of their missile let alone shoot themselves with it.

silly

this technique has been used many times--usually for immature comedic purposes, e.g. mercer's 'ask an american'--and represents two main points

a. what is called 'leading the poll' whereby a person is first asked a question that attempts to establish a new fact in the respondent's mind, e.g. new intel says osama may be hiding in iraq... in which iraqi city do you think we'll catch him? durrr, baghdad?

and b. where every normal, reasoned and intelligent response is left on the cutting room floor after editing - after all, the makers are trying to make a point and only stupid responses suit their point -- if i were petty and/or mean-spirited enough, i could easily make a similar video mocking your nationality or some issue that's important to you

one comment here mentioned that 'it's sad to see so many people don't have a hold om the basic facts...'

lol - the clip only contained interviews of 15 separate people - is that a statistical cross section? lol

of the 15, only 14 provided wrong answers - one guy when asked 'what cities did the attacks take place in?' could only name new york -- how many of you could name the other two *cities*?
